I've had the Kama for a week and so far it has worked flawlessly. I've been using it for Call of Duty MWR, but I really want use it for games like Punch Out. It is more comfortable to me then the Nintendo nunchuck because of the grip on the back side of the controller. One gripe I do have it that the package advertises that it will work with Motion Plus. I'm sure it does, bit you have to remove the jacket to Motion Plus first. On the other hand; pair this with the Wand+ and you get wireless with Motion Plus for around $** less then Nintendo brand. I haven't found many reviews of the Wand+ to know if it is any good. Also, I ordered it standard shipping and it came within three days. It was packages well and was in perfect condition.

great controller, but bad battery life
PostedMarch 18, 2010
I bought this controller only because the wired kama was sold out and I thought that it was cool that it was wireless. I soon found out that I should have waited until the store got more of the wired kamas in stock. I connected the Wireless Kama to the Nyko Wii Wand, and with a couple of hours, my Wii Wand was saying that I needed to replace the batteries. The wireless receiver for the Kama drains the batteries of the Wii Wand very very quickly. I have not even had to replace the batteries for the Kama yet, but I have had to replace the batteries for the Wii Wand many many times. I also don't like that you have to remove the controller sleeve to attach the receiver. So unless you use rechargeable batteries, or use a charge station or something similar for your controllers, I do not recommend getting the Wireless Kama.

Works great! I love it!

Alright, so today was my birthday, and I asked for this, because I wanted to try it out. I had read the reviews, so I was a bit skeptical based on what some people said about it. Lo and behold, it works great. I played a good session of Metroid Prime (I got Metroid Prime Triology today as well) and I also played a session of Twilight Princess. The wireless nunchuck worked great! The responsiveness was excellent, responded when I needed it to, and felt great! I love that it's wireless. We just got a kitten so the kitten likes to play with the wires, so I wanted this to knock it off. This Wireless Nunchuck has proven great. Works just as good, if not better, than the Nunchuck controller that came with my Wii, and the lack of wires doesn't restrict my movements anymore. I would totally recommend buying this. It works great!

Excellent alternative to official nunchuk

Once you play a few games without the wire, you'll have a hard time going back! I can't stand the wire on the nunchuk, so I got this. It's very ergonomic, though not as much as the original nunchuk - the Kama is slightly wider and blockier on top, which makes it somewhat less comfortable. What makes up for it is that there is a rubber grip on the back and the analog stick is much much better - it's similar in design to the Gamecube analog stick. There are more circles on the stick for a better thumb grip. The C button is wider and the Z button is more like those PS3 Real Trigger add-ons. There's a place on the Z button to rest your finger so it won't slip off. The receiver fits into the Wiimote perfectly and it's never fallen off. Syncing only has to be done the first time and then after it is automatic when you turn both parts on. Cons: You can't use this with the Wii MotionPlus unless you do some serious scary surgery on the M+. I just use the regular nunchuk with M+ games. Also, you have to use more batteries, but just get some AAA rechargeables. Too bad Nintendo designed the M+ to be incompatible with the Kama's receiver. It might have been awkward with two add-ons anyway. That issue aside, this is the best nunchuk replacement for the Wii. The build quality is great.
